Bloated heifer

[[email protected]]

I have a 650 pound shorthorn show heifer who is eating acco calf grower two times a day. She eats about four flakes of hay a day. She is getting bloated, but it doesn't last long. It goes back and forth from normal to skinny to bloated. I dont know what to do or what not to do. Any suggestions?

What kind of hay are you feeding her?

If you are feeding ACCO feeds, try the Beefmaker Textured 12
Transition slow.
I have good luck with the Beefmaker Textured 12. I feed it to both my bulls and heifers when I'm getting them prepared for a show.

There is a difference between bloated and being filled. The same amount of feed divided into several smaller feedings may be required.

if she was bloating, she should be dead by now, like dun said if they eat a lot they can look bloated for a while til things digest

Thanks everyone. I will take this into consideration. Phew, I am very relieved.
